There's naturally going to be a lot of unhappiness surrounding the WWE Women's Title match between Sasha Banks and Charlotte. Most likely weren't expecting the surprise ending, mainly because the live audience were anticipating that Charlotte would tap out when locked in the Bank Statement for a second time. That wasn't the only notable moment.

Earlier, the pair were both fighting in the corner. As it looked like Charlotte might hit a colossal Powerbomb (or a variation of such) on her opponent, Sasha managed to reverse it into a sweet-looking Hurricanrana. This was followed up later by Banks forcing her knees into Charlotte's face on the outside, but that didn't quite top the Hurricanrana.

Charlotte's flip was well-timed, making Banks look amazing as she spun over and dropped her foe. This isn't a move Sasha has used often, but let's hope it becomes part of her arsenal going forward. If so, she'll have a spectacular spot she knows she can always go back to in big matches.

It might not make up for the ending to some, but it was still quite the bump. AJ Styles used the same move later, but it wasn't really expected in the Women's Title clash.
